In a small pond lived many frogs. They all looked exactly the same, indistinguishable from one another. But it didn’t matter; everyone still lived together harmoniously.
One day, the Frog King came to inspect the pond. All the frogs immediately lined up to welcome the king’s arrival.
The Frog King arrived, wearing a golden crown on his head.
The Frog King held his head high, only glancing at the frogs in the pond with the corners of his eyes. “Look at these frogs in the pond, how ordinary and vulgar they are!”
A little frog quietly asked an old frog, “What does ‘vulgar’ mean?”
The old frog said, “It means we look very lowly and ugly.”
The little frog took a careful look at the king and said, “I think, except for the crown on his head, the king looks exactly like us.”
At that moment, a strong wind blew the Frog King’s golden crown off. The crown rolled on the ground a few times, fell into the pond, and sank to the bottom. However, the careless frogs didn’t notice this.
After a while, everyone realized the king was missing and became very anxious: “Where’s the king? Where did the king go?”
A frog called out, “I am the king, I am the king!”
The other frogs laughed at him: “What kind of king are you? You look just as vulgar as us, and you don’t have a crown on your head!”
That frog hopped around, calling, “I am the king, I am the king.”
All the frogs laughed and said, “Look at this frog, he’s gone mad.”
The frogs laughed and walked away, focusing on catching insects to eat.
The king, now without his crown, thought to himself, “What’s going on? Can’t they recognize from my noble appearance that I am their king?”
In reality, he looked no different from any other frog. From then on, the frogs no longer had a king.
